A puppet theater show for the whole family.
Forms of classical puppet theater are combined with more experimental approaches and acting.
The show takes place around and inside a submarine (a converted caravan trailer). During the performance, the audience enters the submarine and watches the puppet theater, which is performed outside the submarine, through the windows. The show incorporates the space surrounding the submarine, as it becomes part of the puppet play’s scenery: the show is site-specific.
We address serious topics such as climate change and ocean pollution with a great deal of humor. A living coral reef, colorful schools of fish and mysterious creatures, such as a giant octopus, are brought to life with handmade figures and backdrops made from recycled materials.
